HID Options

Hi,

Been thinking of upgrading the halogens to HID's. Does anyone have a pic of their Rclass with 4300 and 6000k bulbs? I had 6000 on my old car which was fine (though didnt have projectors).

Also, what are the options out there? I see the MTEC kit is plug and play and doesnt throw error codes, but its pretty pricey (270 on ebay). Has anyone been able to get them for cheaper? Are there any other kits which dont throw codes that are cheaper?

Thanks!
